It emphasizes tension

In the passage, Death was personified to show how the old man seems to have perceived his impending death despite not having seen nor heard the presence of the murderer in the room. Death had the characteristics of having the ability to stalk, to have a shadow and to envelop its victim. All of which are humanistic attributes that death in its real sense could not possibly enact. It creates the tension on the murder that is about to happen and the thoughts of the murderer on his victim.

Answer:

Othello fits the description of a tragic hero.

Explanation:

A hero is a character who has the ability to accomplish great things. A tragic hero is no different, since he has this ability. However, the great deeds of a tragic hero result in suffering and the disgrace of him and those around him.

Othello is a perfect example of a tragic hero, since his actions lead to himself and the people he loves death. Othello causes misfortune by acting out of jealousy, arrogance, lack of critical sense, remorse and impulsiveness. This all causes very bad effects through great actions.
